Elmer Warnstaff, who is running a scow from the pulp mill, saw and hailed him, but he paid no attention; he was intoxicated at the time. That was the last seen of him alive. About G o'clock yesterday after noon, a human arm was seen project ing above the surface of the water on a mud flat opposite the old mill. In vestigation brought to the surface the body of the missing Gtdk. The remains will be brought to the morgue this morning.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. MARCH 6. Although South J3end is being boomed for all it is worth, people from that neighborhood are seeking invest ments iu Astoria. They feel that they are absolutely secure here in putting in their money. Mr. Chas. Jacobson came down from North Cove yester day and bought several lots with his savings, lie said that he had about $2,000 that he wanted to buy real estate with. First he went to South Bend and Willapa, which are near at hand and found that his money would not go very far in getting lots that would be of value within a few years. There was too great a risk on the future. Hence he came to Astoria, invested, and feels absolutely secure of a good return within a short period. Mr. Jacobson made one remark which is notably true: It was to the effect that no matter how much South Bend may grow it must alwavs be smaller than Astoria and dependent on the latter as a distribut ing and supply point Much ol the Shoalwater bay country is nearer prac tically than South Bend and it will be gears' before the latter can get the prestige that the former already pos sesses. It might be added that Astoria wishes to see even town in Pacific county grow rapidly because their de mands will bring increased trade to this city. Astoria does not feel towards these places in any such woy as Port land does toward this town. She does not look upon them with envy but re joices in their progress. A Slrrrt that Needs Repair. A reference was made in these col umns recently to the bad condition of parts of the sidewalks. There is an other locality that demands instant attention and repairs. The section of :ird street between "West Gth and 0th is in miserable shape. There is no street more traveled than this. It is the main thoroughfare and the only direct way to the TJ. P. Wharf. Heavy and light teams are constantly going over it, yet is allowed to re main like a backwoods logging road. If a wagon goas faster than a snail's pace, there is danger of breaking either the wheels or axles. At every few feet, planks have been put down which project up several inches. In stead of taking out the old rotten ones, new planks have been placed on top of them. The result is like a street full of rocks. But this is not all, holes have appeared during the last few: days large enough for a horse to put his leg through. There are three or four of these and they are not yet covered. Certainly this sec tion deserves proper attention from the authorities. The business manager filled m his leisure time running a cattle ranch and a coal mine. "The town had a 'boom' a year or two lefore, but the boom was gone and the place was left with two daily newspapers and hardly business enough for one weekly. It was hard sledding. Associated Press dispatches were out of the question. We had to depend on the Denver papers, which reached us the same evening, for our telegraphic news. Our readers didn't like this, of course, but it was the best we could do, and as we were all hold ing on like grim death for the return of the 'boom,' which was always six months ahead of us, nobody cared to sav ioo mucu. j "But occasionally the trains got snowed in on the pass for a week or more, and then we were in a box. On one of these occasions we hadn't had a mail for four days, and things were looking blue. There wasn't any local news to speak of. The business man ager suggested a chapter from the bible with a ''scare' head, ne thought it -would be news out there, and I guess he was right "The town had gas and waterworks and a big hotel as reminders of its de parted boom, and it also had a tele phone line which connected with an other little town thirty miles further up in the mountains, on a branch of the same railroad. The telephone in the station thirty miles away was connect ed every night with the one in our of fice before the central office closed, so that in case of an accident in the mines we could get the news. 'Several times, while using this tel ephone, I had noticed that late at night when all was still, the clicking of the telegraph instrument in the station up in the mountains could be distinctly heard over the wire. This suggested an idea The railroad wire was used as a news wire late at night If we had any body with an ear acute enough to read that faint ticking iu the telephone instrument wo could learn what was going on over the wires. The business manager had been an operator, and a good one, back in the states. He tried the in strument and found that the scheme would work. The next morning we had a column of ''specials," including two or three items of Washington news, which were of special interest just then, as every second man in the town was a candidate for some ollice under the incoming administration. The editor of the rival paper rushed to tho telegraph ollice to inquire what it meant He was told that we had received nothing over the wire. With tho train snowed up on top or the Pass "faking"' from the Denver papers was out of the question. Yet there were the dispatches, and unmistakably genuine, too. The wires had been tapped, that was certain, but where, when, how? Tho railroad people or dered an investigation, but discovered nothing. Nobody thought of the clicking instrument in the closed railroad station thirty miles away and the marvelous carrying jower of the telephone in that clear, still mount ain air. "Our brother editor on the rival sheet thought it was a "dead, cold fake," but ho was afraid to say too much about it for ho had run out of paper and we had him at our mercy, at least until a train got in. Of course the secret was jealonsly guarded in the office, but tho "specials were kept up until the tram got through. Then we quit The bus iness manager was a conscientious man, and didn't believe iu stealing news when it could be obtained in any other way. Besides, he objected to the work."

There was a report circulated yes terday afternoon that the sailors on the l'ielle of Bath had experienced trouble in settling their acconnts on board the vessel when being paid off. An inquiry at the oflice of shipping commissioner Uiwhur developed the fact tlmt there had been no trouble whatever and that everything had been satisfactorilv arranged for both the captain and crew. The apparent misunderstanding arose from the price charged by Captain Curtis for slops. The crew thought thoy were asked to pay too much for such tilings as boots and other articles of clothing. The captain agreed to let the shipping commissioner arbitrate on the matter. Ho said ho had an excellent crew, and, as they had served him well in tho sail from New York ho wanted to do the fair thing by them. Hence tho commissioner fixed the accounts and paid the sailors off. They said that they were satisfied with this set tlement and all spoke well of tho cap tain. A few of the crew remain on the ship, but most of them are allowed to go, as they are not needed while she is loading again. In further explanation it might be stated that ships generally have a small store aboard that is called slop3. "Whenever a sailor wants anything he gets it tint of this store, and the value is charged against him to be taken from the full amount of his wages. Cap tains are allowed to ask ten per cent, increase on New York prices when paying off in American iorts. Some times from a lack of sure knowledge as to these New York rates more than that er cent, is asked. Then gener ally the commissioners settle it. if tho sailors disagree with the captains.
